Given the expression


(3)/((1)/(8))

We are asked if the above is an example of a complex fraction.

A complex fraction can be defined as a fraction in which the denominator and numerator or both contain fractions.

A complex fraction containing a variable is known as a complex rational expression. For example,

1) 3/(1/2) is a complex fraction whereby, 3 is the numerator and 1/2 is the denominator.

2) (3/7)/9 is also a complex fraction with 3/7 and 9 as the numerator and denominator respectively.

3) (3/4)/(9/10) is another complex fraction with 3/4 as the numerator and 9/10 as the denominator.

Answer: Yes, 3/(1/8 ) is a complex fraction
